Alcohol Rehab at the Studio
Originally, the Cirque Lodge alcohol rehab facility was just the retreat up at Sundance. As the drug rehab program at Cirque Lodge started to have success, it was realized that this limited enrollment facility wasn’t enough to fill the need. The Studio, located at the mouth of Provo Canyon, became the second of Cirque’s facilities. Formerly a movie and TV studio, this was a massive building with limitless possibilities for addiction therapies and venues for experiential work. A renovation to the building made it ideal as a rehab facility.
The Studio is home of the day-to-day administrative operations of Cirque Lodge. Within the facility are a number of personal therapy and group therapy rooms for those in alcohol rehab. Men’s and Women’s accommodations are located on separate floors and are what you would expect from a high end addiction treatment facility. In the warmer months, the Studio has a wide assortment of beautiful flowers. The rose garden has a gazebo which is a nice quiet place to meditate on things. The Studio is private, with a large security gate at the entrance.
Perhaps the most amazing part of the Studio facility is the soundstage. This 17,000 sq foot room was used in filming different scenes from movies and TV programs. Today, it hosts an indoor ropes and climbing facility for those in alcohol rehab. Cirque residents have a chance to take part in a number of different of experiential activities and problem solving and skill building exercises. At the end of each of these activities, residents sit down and discuss what was learned through the exercise, and how it can be applied to the recovery process.
